Description: Fonotipia Records, or Dischi Fonotipia, was an Italian gramophone record label established in 1904 by the Anglo-French composer Baron Frederic d'Erlanger (1868–1943), with a charter to record the art of leading opera singers and some other celebrity musicians, chiefly violinists. The records made by Fonotipia are prized by collectors and musicologists for their high technical quality, and for the high artistic merit and interest of much of what was captured for posterity. The records were lateral needle-cut of the usual kind, starting at the outer edge, and playing at speeds at or near 78 rpm. Fonotipia's output was issued in various record sizes. The original series of one thousand titles (numbered 39000-39999) was issued in the 27 cm or ten and three-quarter inch format. In 1905, the 69000 series was introduced. It featured a large disc of 35 cm (13 and three-quarter inches); but it ran to only 22 titles before being discontinued as unpopular with the consumer market, owing to the format.
